i am looking for a recipe for creamy mushroom and bacon pasta?

made with button mushrooms and bacon (of course) and im not sure if you use cream or evaporated milk and not sure of the rest of the ingredients the sauce has to be thick and creamy

CREAMY CARBONARA

Serves 4 – 6

500 gm fresh fettuccine cooked according to packet directions (if you don’t have fettuccine try angel hair)
1 tblsp olive oil
1 medium Spanish onion finely diced
2 cloves crushed garlic
3 tsp mixed herbs
6 rashers middle bacon
2 cups button mushrooms sliced
300 ml cream
½ cup white wine (try to use one that you will be serving with the meal)
A little chicken stock powder
Salt and pepper to taste.

Heat oil in a large pan and add garlic, herbs and onion. (If you are making a chicken carbonara , then add the chicken now) and cook on medium-high heat until onion has sweated ( if using chicken cook until chicken has lightly browned)

Add the bacon and mushrooms and cook well. Reduce heat and add cream, heat through at a simmer. When cream is heated, add the wine and the stock powder. Make sure you don’t use too much stock powder or it will be too salty. Make sure you taste all the time. Simmer for about 7-8 minutes until all the alcohol has burned off and the cream has thickened.

Serve over the drained pasta and sprinkle with fresh shaved Parmesan cheese. Fresh crusty bread would be a lovely addition to this meal also.

I would suggest a Semillon or a Moselle with this dish. If you want a nice dry white would
